HC rejects plea against dismissal of IPS officer who probed Ishrat Jahan encounter case

The Delhi High Court on May 24 rejected a plea by former IPS officer Satish Chandra Verma, who assisted the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in its probe in the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case, against the Centre’s order dismissing him a month before his scheduled retirement.

Mr. Verma was dismissed from service on August 30 last year, a month ahead of his scheduled retirement on September 30, 2022, after a departmental inquiry found him guilty of various charges, including “interacting with public media”.

Mr. Verma had approached the High Court following the Supreme Court’s order allowing him to file a plea here.
